ricojes Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Lehner did not have a great game, but the defense needs to be better. 3 out of 4 points for the first 2 games of a Western Canadian swing is good though, let's hope they can steal at least one in Vancouver....

JohnC Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Â Â Monahan got away with a penalty in OT just before netting the winner. It was the National "Hokey" League tonight when you factor in the Flames 1st goal that shouldn't have counted. @Sportsnet #Flames Monahan not penalized, sticks it to #Sabres in OT @SubwayCanada #SubwayCanada https://snappytv-a.akamaihd.net/local/error_geoblock_ld240p.mp4 Â The whistle blew before the goal. But what was obvious from the replay is that there should not have been a whistle. The outcome was fair and right although the process was questionable.

It was bang bang, but should not have counted. Watch and listen to the replay again. I think the ref may have intended to blow it a split second earlier, but was too slow. The puck is in midair when an audible whistle sound is heard. Â Doesn't matter--it has to cross the goal line before the whistle to count The refs have more discretion now. They huddled and got the call right. Ref lost sight of the puck thinking it was under Lehner when it clearly wasn't. The other ref had a clear view the entire time. And it wasn't like the whistle caused any Sabre player to let up or had any impact on the goal. Â My barometer, developed over time, is how pissed would I have been if they disallowed that goal if we scored it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs, after reviewing per the coach's challenge by Vancouver, seem to think so. Â It bodes well that the refs have more leeway in getting things right.
